Sri Lanka Attacks (21/04/19)

Message from Archbishop Bernard Longley

“My thoughts and prayers, and those of the Catholic community and all people of goodwill in the Archdiocese of Birmingham, are with the victims of the attacks in the churches and hotels in Sri Lanka today. The fact that it happened during prayer on Easter morning makes it all the worse. But our faith in the Risen Lord tells us that nothing, not evil nor death itself, can overcome the power of the resurrection. I commend all those who have died to the loving mercy of God and those injured or bereaved to the protection of Mary, our Mother, and a witness to the Resurrection.”

Why Remain Catholic?

Bishop Robert Barron

This video discusses extremely sensitive topics.

"Friends, in light of the recent scandals, I know many people are wondering whether they should remain in the Catholic Church. And I totally get that; the outrage is warranted. But in this time of crisis, I beg you not to flee, but to fight--not violently, with the weapons of the world, but with the weapons of the Spirit. We need you". - Bishop Robert Barron
